I think I have come face to face to my mortality.  I know that one day I am going to die, and actually, about 24 hours ago, I hoped it to be soon.  Now, I am feeling very differently.  Oh, please, come off it.  I was sick. 

Yeah, being sick bites the big one.  I also am having a real hard time with everyone on dragid seemingly under the age of 16.  I keep finding people that are 10 years younger than me.  You guys are really, really making me feel extremely old.  Sheesh.  They are still getting to complain about things like a 2 page paper.  That's no fair.  I am going to complain about THAT!  How about that for a change!?  Yeah, okay, that didn't work out too well.

Well, the significant other is asleep.  I've been asleep fro well over 48 hours due to my stomach virus.  But, yeah, you get the idea.    I ended up missing 2 days of school and a test.  Now, for those NOT in college, this can very well mean that I will not have a chance to make up that test at all.  My teacher happens to be in Hondorus at the moment--silly anthropologists.  I don't know if he will allow me to make it up or not.  If he doesn't, I will fail the class because the whole class is based on 100 points.  Meaning this--if I miss one test, then I will fail.  *sigh*  Hard life, eh?  Sheesh, I'm canadian for a moment there.  That's scary.  OKay, now one thing would be a handy bit of info.  I know about html codes, scripts, so on and so forth, now, on here, where in the world do you put it!  I know where to put it for my LJ or my xanga, but in here, that's...yeah...okay, don't get that at all.  Help Help! 

Anyway, maybe someone that is bored enough will read this and ACTUALLY help me out a little bit here.

Oh my gosh, I got my fiancee the dumbest gift in the world.  He insists that it's cute, but frankly, it was cheap.  It's a little stuffed cow holding a heart that says "love you".  Yeah, it's dumb.  He feels bad because he had no money and won't be able to send me something.  Oh good grief.  I really do not care that much.  I've told him before the most important thing to me is him-not what he gives me.  There's nothing that can compare to just being with him and knowing that I am going to marry him.  Nothing can compare to that.

Anyway, I'm going to back studying Calculus II.  Fun stuff!  Toodles!   Someone come out of the woodworks and leave me some loving notes here.  That would be kind of you.

Okay, first off, it really bothers me when people who are about 7 or 8 years younger than me try their best to appear intelligent.  Now, granted, some of them actually may be intelligent.  The best ones are ones that realize they do not know everything they think they know.  Now, I know am fairly intelligent, but I still have a good bit to learn.  For instance, did you know there is a difference between gender and sex.  Sex is a biological term.  Gender is not.    Yeah, those darn anthropological classes are getting to me again. 

Aside, this keyboard really, really bites the big one.  The shift key doesn't work very well.  I am banging on it to try to get it to behave properly. 

Okay, back to young, small, and dumb children.  Now, again, not all childern are dumb, but I am referring to these.  First off, the ones that finally get a boyfriend and claim that he is the best thing in the world that they are both so in love and they have been together for such a long time that this may last forever.  Oh, adding of course that the relationship consists of really bad kissing and their moms and dads dropping them off at the mall and talking on the phone most everyday.  Oh, yes, and don't forget about the fact that they probably have barely been together but maybe a month.  Okay, next example of dumb children, people who INSIST on calling everything gay! 

examples:

"My science teacher is so gay.  He gave us homework.  Like whatever!"

"This guy beside me is so gay!  He just told me to be quiet!"

"This assignment is so gay.  I don't want to do this!"

This can go on forever.  I have NEVER understood why people have to assign some arbitary sexual orientation to something or someone that has nothing to do with homosexuality.  Now, with that said, why exactly something gay if it has nothing to do with being gay?  Yeah, that's the million dollar question.  Now, I am well aware of the fact that this is slang.  I cannot STAND slang.  It makes me want to cry and squeeze my eyeballs until blood comes out! 

Allright, now, on to another example of dumb children or younger teens that apparently refuse to learn something.  School ALWAYS is horrible for them.  It's never fun, it's never needed, it's just this thing their parents force them into.  School is work.  I am WELL aware of that one.  However, I think it's a privledge.  Some countries do not have a public school system nor laws that require children to be educated.  For many years, women were not eduated at all.  Men were dropping out when they reached ages old enough to work in fields or in their father's line of work.  Many did not finish school and it was not really required that they did.  We all have brains, and it is a horrid waste to just refuse to use what we are given.  Yes, I may complain about my classes sometimes because it's a hard load, but in the long run, I am very thankful I am going to college.  I would not want to be ANYWHERE else right now than attending this univeristy. 

Okay, here's another thing, this craze started a few years ago, and I never understood it when I was in high school, and i really don't understand it right now either.    It seems to be concentrated, but not limited to, middle class, young, white females.  Now, some of you that are reading this and KNOW me, will understand exactly where I am about to be going in this discussion.  Somewhere along the line these younger girls thought it would be "cool"  to act "ghetto" and refer to each other as "sluts" "hoes" "bitches" as well as themselves.  Now, I am none of these things and many of these girls are none of them either.  Why choose to call yourself something so insulting and so degrading?

I wish I knew where this started, so I could hurt the person that did it.  These people choose to "talk ghetto" in slang that just hurts my eyes and ears.  If you have the intelligence to speak relatively proper, then why not use that brain to do so?  Why would someone appear to act like an idiot just to be "cool"!?  That makes absolutely NO sense to me at all!!  Okay, now, on with this, not only is it bad grammar and spelling and horrid slang, but it is also the fact that many of these girls use violence as the answer to everything or answer ACT as if this is a good answer to everything.  It's not an answer at all.  Why would you choose to go around acting like you are  mean, promiscuous, and just downright stupid?  Now, the other part of this is that these are people that have never and probably WILL NEVER experiene true "ghetto life" where there are children going hungry, people that are awakened by gunshots on a regular basis, and where most kids by the age of 4 know someone that has been killed by violence.  This is not a "cool" life.  This is a hard life that many are "forced" into, so to speak.  Why would you DESIRE that?  Oh, and another thing, white people shouldn't wear dreadlocks!   I love my hair, but man, I would look really rediculous in dreadlocks.    Never! 

This ends my talk on stupid things younger people do.  Now, we all do dumb things, but these in particular annoy me.  I will probably be returning to this topic at a later date because it seems that the central theme of my life has become to obliterate all of the humanity that voluntarily acts stupid.     Have a wonderful day!

 Sometimes, I swear I just want to kill my roommates.  They make me so incredibly angry so many times.    Yes, I am well aware of the fact that it takes more than just one person in order to make an apartment living situation work, but I feel like I am back in some oversized dorm room again that I have to pay rent on.  Okay, here's the deal.  I could care less if someone drinks it up all night long, but my word, shut up about it.  Why do they have to come to THIS apartment to drink when they all have places where everyone living in those places are either not sleeping that night or atleast drinking or both?  Why can't they commune somewhere else?  I am the only person here that tries to sleep.  After a while, I give up and do other things. Yes, my sleeping habits are awful sometimes.  How awful?  Well, for a while I was sleeping every OTHER day.  Yeah, I'd say that is fairly bad, but then again, if I adapt to this and then breed, then maybe my offspring will be more prone to staying up for days at a time.  Wow!  Sorry, I've been spending too much time in biological anthropology.  Okay, so anyway, I don't care if someone watches a movie or plays a game, but do you have to start this at midnight?  That makes no sense.  By that point, give up if you haven't already started doing something.  Well, I really don't have to say much more than this.  I know that it's a hard situation to be in right now.  Example, I hate it when people put dirty dishes in the sink so you cannot get to the faucet.  That really defeats the purpose of having a sink in the first place.  Allright, allright, now on to the college thing.  Things are going okay there, they would be better if I chose to attend classes.  That's for sure.  Yay!  Class time is fun!   Riiight.  Anyway, I am going to cut this short.  Yippie.  My first blog.  Cool!  Toodles.
